My introduction to WebQuests came about as the result of a WebQuest incentive
offered at the state level, with a focus on math or science. WebQuests that
met the predetermined criteria would be honored with a financial award and
posted to the web for other teachers to use. I had never done a WebQuest, but
it sounded like a great way to use the Internet in my classroom, so I took
on the challenge. As it turned out, my first WebQuest took me far longer than
I had anticipated - I had to first research, read, and gather data and ideas.
The more I worked on it, however, the more I realized what a great teaching,
learning, and assessment tool a WebQuest could be. It was all right there,
in an organized framework. By the time I was finished, I was hooked. I really
wanted to invest major energy into constructing more of them.

The part of the WebQuest adventure that speaks to me the loudest is the students'
enthusiasm. It's a tremendous motivator. .

From this point on, I plan on finding, bookmarking, and "tweaking" as many
WebQuests as possible for my classroom use. I will also continue to create
them. At some point, soon, I will ask to be on the agenda of a faculty meeting
in my school to share my knowledge, enthusiasm, and experience with others.
